Amityville Horror house on the market

Just in time for Halloween, the home made famous by the Amityville Horror movie is up for sale – and has been for a while.

Located in Toms River, NJ, the house was where the cult film was shot. The real haunted home though is in the neighboring state, according to AOL Real Estate:

The horror movie…was based on the real-life story of the Lutz family, who bought an allegedly haunted house in Amityville, on New York’s Long Island, in 1975. Thirteen months before the Lutzes moved in, a man named Ronald DeFeo Jr. had shot and killed six members of his family at the house. According to the Lutzes, they were victim to demonic, paranormal activity inside the home and left after living there for only 28 days.

The 4 bedroom, 3 full & 2 half bath home is asking $935,000 after slashing its price multiple times from the original list price of $1.45 million when it came on the market last year. Since the cult horror movie was released in 1979, many updates and modifications have been done to the property; the once pie-shaped windows on either side of the brick chimney are now square and the roof has lost its angles.

The current owners of the house, Odalys and Jose Fragoso, purchased the colonial in 2001 and are selling because of divorce.

“My husband and I are getting a divorce,” Odalys Fragoso told CNN. “It’s not that the house is haunted or anything.”

Despite the price cuts, it’s still up for grabs. Perhaps the home’s link to the movie has spooked out most home buyers.
